Note that September 2017, Hurricane Maria caused severe damage to the Waitukubuli National Trail. We await word of the official opening of the Segments. See the official WNT website for updates.
As of May, 2017, only Segment 12 has been officially opened.

Fondly known as the WNT, the trail covers 114 miles, spanning and twisting the length of Dominica. From Scotts Head in the south to Capuchin in the north, the trail winds from one end of Dominica to the other. Along the way it will take you through coastal villages, up woodland hills, into lush rainforest, past waterfalls, down to rivers, back up to the mountains and then down again to the sea. Dominica’s unique and varied terrain will reveal her age-old secrets to you as you enjoy her natural beauty and vibrant, fresh air. You will also learn about Dominica’s history as you trek across the National Trail. The WNT passes through traditional Kalinago (Carib) villages, ruins of 18th Century French settlements, the renovated Fort Shirley at The Cabrits, the secret ‘Maroon’ passages where runaway slaves escaped and many more interesting historical and natural sites. The WNT was opened in 2011 while work continued. The official Grand Opening Ceremony was held at the Pond Casse Reception Center on May 10th, 2013. The Waitukubuli National Trail’s management falls under Forestry Division and the entire trail has been designated an Eco-Tourist Site. Effective July 1st 2013, all visitors and non-residents must obtain a trail pass (ticket) to access or hike the Waitukubuli National Trail.

Please note, as of February 2nd,2017, Segment 14 has been temporarily re-routed due to ongoing construction at the Cabrits Resort Kempinski in Portsmouth.

“Effective immediately, the route will continue onto the main road from the Douglas Bay area in Portsmouth, otherwise known as Belle Hall Beach, bypassing the previous trail alongside the beach. This route will continue straight in a southerly direction for a three-quarter mile and then proceed right onto the road which leads to Cabrits National Park near Monty’s Fish Grill & Bar. The route continues into the Cabrits National Park, ending near the Officer’s Quarters at Fort Shirley.

The Waitukubuli National Trail Management Unit thanks everyone for their understanding in this matter and apologizes for any inconveniences caused.”
